Recommendation
We recommend that the Department for Education expands the foundation apprenticeship scheme to include the hospitality, retail and care sectors— as well as other high-demand sectors for young people—by April 2026. The purpose of foundation and other shorter apprenticeships must be made clear to prospective apprentices and employers, including routes to further progression. Clear communication and guidance must be provided and maintained by the Department for Education and Skills England. (Recommendation, Paragraph 131)
